Perhaps taking a cue from Sea of Thieves, there won’t be an overarching main plot, but rather just smaller missions and mission chains, as well as dynamic events, that fill in the gaps between PvP naval combat.

Since Skull and Bones is supposedly an online experience, it may be the case that there isn’t a story in a traditional sense. In terms of plot, story, and characters, there’s nothing to really go on.

The trailer ends, as a crew is hauling up their loot from the waters, with the foreboding threat of a Kraken-type creature of incredible size just below the surface. However, when two new pirate crews show up, the real battle begins. Cannonballs rip through the hulls, splintering wood and shattering masts as the pirates cripple the target ship. We see some beautiful, although obviously pre-rendered, shots of pirate and cargo ships engaging on rough seas. This announcement trailer sets the game in 1721 on the Indian Ocean, which is both the prime time period and location for historical pirate activities.

Here’s your blast from the past, since the only official trailer for Skull and Bones is the original reveal trailer from way back at E3 2017. Skull and Bones: E3 2017 Cinematic Announcement Trailer | Ubisoft
